Battlefield 2042 is currently available for purchase over Steam for PC and for the PlayStation and Xbox in their respective stores.

How to Get a Refund for Battlefield 2042
Although the process of filing for a refund is rather simple, the only platform you are guaranteed a refund on right now is Steam. As Steam has a policy of only allowing a refund for games that have been played for less than 2 hours, it seems like they have made a special exception as players with more than 12 hours in the game have been able to claim a refund as well.
To get your refund for the game on steam, just follow these simple steps:
- To begin the process, head over this page.

How do you get a refund for digital upload via x box S series?
From my personal experience it’s best dealing with an actual representative not a bot. They usually refund your account however you paid, Xb Live Card, PSN card etc if you paid with a Xb Live Card or PSN card the money goes directly to your acc.
The refund process usually takes 2 or 3 bus days depending on the payment method that was used. Sony and Microsoft can refund your acc instantly if the payment method was with an Xb Live Card or PSN card. However it takes longer if the payment method was with a debit or bank card. Because the bank has to approve the refund.
Not all regions allow refunds, if your region doesn’t allow refunds but Sony or Microsoft approve it. It’s because they made an exception.
This is not entirely true.
I just finished talking to a Sony rep and they advised me that since I “downloaded/streamed” the game, that I do not qualify to get a refund.
